    L'offerta mette a disposizione 3 modalità, 1 classica con modalità conquista e sfondamento, un altra dove si devono raccogliere unità dati, e la terza (la più ambiziosa) modalità di alcuni precedenti Battlefield, qualche evento loro, e mappe fatte da altri videogiocatori che attraverso l'editor online si possono sbizzarrire con assets di alcuni Battlefield precedenti.

    Per gli altri Battlefield di portal(la terza modalità) la configurazione delle armi dato il fatto che non sia possibile utilizzare la configurazione delle armi in tempo reale, mettere un mirino o altre cose diventa macchinoso.
    Grafica molto buona con un gioco di luci che a differenza del vecchio non ti immerge, promesse non mantenute completamente, e con edifici non distruttibili adeguatamente, mappe che da molti giocatori sono considerate troppo poche, io penso si sia il contrario (non so quante sono numericamente) ma comunque si deve tenere in considerazione la grandezza di queste mappe. L'aggiunta della configurazione delle armi durante i combattimenti è molto bella, anche se bisogna prima sbloccare i vari gadget. Non sono più presenti gli specialisti di "supporto, medico, assalto e scout" o meglio ci sono ma non sono le parti importanti, sono gli specialisti con gadget speciali, tra cui ci si ritrova un personaggio presente già in passato "Irish".
    A me personalmente piace, penso che le persone prima di criticare debbano prima approfondire il tutto.
    L'errore grave per me è quello di aver eliminato la modalità storia che a me è sempre piaciuta, gli sviluppatori dovrebbero fare qualcosa per salvare il titolo.    … Expand

    Básicamente no hay juego.

    3 modos:
    1 correr-matar-morir-repetir
    2 Battleroyale pero no lo llamamos asi
    3 modo personalizable, pero que cerramos para que no subas de nivel rápido...


    Lo peor es que lo que vimos en la beta es básicamente lo que es el juego de 60€. Yo lo he devuelto y no recomiendo su compra.

Quick access is limited to the 128 player conquest on (way too) large maps. The default settings of the game are bad as well, you definitely need to adjust many options for a good feeling. Scoreboard is bad. Even managing to join the squad of a friend is difficult.

    Therefore playing TDM, rush or small conquest on the new BF42 or even BF3 maps is awesome and really fun. TDM on Noshar Canals feels like back in the days when BF3 came out.

    I hope they fix these things mentioned above regarding the UI and game mode selection. Although more close quarter maps and game modes (like the BF3 CQ extension) would be awesome.    … Expand

    Definitely a promising Battlefield Installment with many exciting features, such as the 2 new modes, Portal and Hazard Zone. With action-packed gameplay which makes this game still so much fun, yet it is lacking some features that would really lift this game into the light.

With action-packed gameplay which makes this game still so much fun, yet it is lacking some features that would really lift this game into the light.

    They have scrapped the original class Model and it's not entirely bad, I actually quite like this new system. but it feels a lot less like battlefield's original class system. Every gadget can be put in any of the classes and it has lost its rigidity. Adding specialists which have their own buffs and special gadgets that are unique to them. However, everything else is open season, although untraditional, it still is a pretty fresh customization model that can alter gameplay drastically. Yet, it still seems bare.
    Comparing this to Battlefield 4, which has 110+ weapons, 32 assault rifles alone!! this game has a measly 22... yeah, very underwhelming. Even compared to Battlefield I and V, it is lacking severely.

    Many more gameplay aspects are missing too, in-game chat, The destruction is buggy and seemingly scarce. It definitely has the scale of a battlefield game but without its signature destruction and map altering changes, it just doesn't feel like a battlefield game. Even with the newly implemented weather events (which are still pretty cool on their own!), it just feels a little underwhelming in the destruction department. Especially from a game that is famous for collapsing skyscrapers and leveling city blocks.
    There are also a lot of out-of-game features that are missing too, leaderboards and stat pages are nonexistent and no Server Browsers at all.

    One big turn-off I've experienced is the weapons fire spread and bloom. Nearly every weapon seems uncontrollable even on stationary targets while sitting still. It is poorly implemented making your bullets go everywhere off target even when Aiming Down sights, making nearly all gunfights RNG.

    One more thing that seemed odd to me, where is the campaign?? Not even a single-player experience like Battlefield 1's war stories?? Honestly a shame, with a setting like 2042 where the world seems to be hit with a major world-altering conflict and we see nothing of it? I was really hoping to see more of this world on the brink of collapse during humanity's peak. it is disappointing to see them take this in a Multiplayer only experience and I feel it would have made this game a lot better.

    But does it have potential? Yeah, it does. Even with its broken and chaotic bugs, it is still a fun and awesome game. I hope they fix the existing bugs and bring back the aspects and weapons choices similar to that of other battlefield games because right now Battlefield 2042 feels a little underwhelming and fairly empty shooter. Ambition is great, but too much can really make or break a series. Especially for die-hard fans.

    Now I will talk about 2042, and in my first days of play I already have an opinion, I will summarize it with this phrase: "It is clearly unbalanced in many aspects".

    I will focus on specific aspects that I have seen. Too many attack vehicles, especially in advance mode maps that are smaller, you are constantly killed by tank shots even from behind because they have surrounded you or helicopters with dispersal bombs that you do not even know why you have died. The MC5 goes too fast for a tank guy, it does better to kill by running over than to shoot. For example, zone A1 of the Renovation map with so many enemy exit vehicles is practically indefensible. Defensive material against vehicles is clearly lacking.
    On the other hand, there is a lack of quad-type vehicles to move through the great distances of the maps. Few to no starter weapon accessories, in some cases not a sad peephole. The one who already has a higher level is greatly favored compared to the new player who to which they fall everywhere. There are no statistics whatsoever, nor can you even see the data of the last game once it is finished. You do not see doctors nearby when you die when that functionality was already implemented in the last Battlefields. Armor equipment makes no sense, in the end everyone will equip it so as not to be at a disadvantage. Not to mention bugs ...    … Expand

When the game released into early access, people were defending it on the basis that "it hasnt released yet" and the bugs will surely be fixed at full release. They werent. What we got is a barebones game, with a portal mode that is just as barebones, no campaign, bad optimization and so on. And while the devs mustve known about these issues, EA said that that they are far ahead in development. Honestly, if you want a Caspian border experience just try the original one or the one in BF4, and if you want a second world war experience then IN NO WAY do I recommend the portal mode, since there are games that are so much better, much more immersive and less pricy. I got to play the ultimate edition since I subscribed to EA play Pro to try it out, and it feels like a standard edition at best. Definitely not worth 100 EUR or quid or bucks. The game got boring after 40 hours. Oh and the specialists? You might get used to them. However im done getting "used to" terrible launches or anything that hinders gameplay in a AAA game that feels like its been developed by an indie studio over a year.

You spawn in wide open areas as sniper bait, or in front of tanks or in front of enemies routinely. The UI makes it damn near impossible to select squad mates that are on objectives. They increased the player count to 128, which the servers clearly cannot handle consistently. This is a game with tons of potential buried under more tons of performance problems.

I have however read and watched many user reviews of their previous titles at launch and can clearly see a pattern that is still being followed. That being games launching in an incomplete state. Followed by many patches and updates in an effort to turn the game into what it should have been at launch.
    I was excited about this title. Especially after playing BF4 for a couple of months now and seeing what that game can do even 7 to 8 years after it launched. And then I moved onto BFV, which I have to be honest blew me away with it's overall polish. I understand that both BF4 and V launched with similar issues to 2042 and that I am now experiencing these games with the benefit of years of patches and fixes and optimization. But for EA and DICE to not learn from these previous launches is a real shame. Currently the FPS player base is rotating between games like Vanguard and Halo infinite, which are all vying for our attention and valuable game time. Battlefield offers gamers something different, or used to. Perhaps after a number of patches, fixes and optimization updates 2042 will be a solid game that will offer something different for the FPS player base. Perhaps not. Time will tell.    … Expand

Out of that, we can have a nice vehichles rekting you all over the place cuz there is nowhere to hide from them. My memories from BF3 are special ones, as the maps here was 10 out of 10 in comparison with that one.
    The guns - there is no guns. Forget about grinding 100 years in BF3 to try everything out, there is just about freaking 20 guns for a whole game for EVERY class (sorry, operator).
    128 people not fun at all. You have one place where everyone just shoot each other for about 3 to 5 minutes, then you should run 5 kilometers marathone to be killed in the middle of the desert by a heli.
    Cringe voicelines, absolutely cringe and awful. BF3, once again, was a masterpiece at that.
    Destruction is good, but still laughable, as there is one or two buildings you can destroy, the rest is desert.
    Even tho i have an old videocard and i understand it, but boy, 40 fps with THAT graphics on low's - laughable, there is no optimization. Hell, even people with rtx 3000 series are getting some problems.
    Bugs are one hundred percent to show up in every game you play, in general, that feels still like beta, still scuffed.
    Im heartbroken, as BF3 was once a game, that i've DREAMT of getting. I've build a completely new PC just to play that game, just to enjoy every piece of it, it was mind-blowing. Right now, do i want to build a new PC to run that 150 fps on Ultras? Hell no, i don't and i won't. 10 years later, that is not what i expected out of gaming industry, constantly selling us a raw, unpolished, bad and just soullles project. Literally everything in that game is bad, i have nothing else to add.
    I wish i could say every little piece of that battlefield making it that bad, but i believe that everyone, who actually played this game, will understand everything i've said and alot more.
    Sad, that we live in such a time, when we can't just have a mind blowing game, as we used to get before.
    And yes, i know that BF4 was bad at the beginning, but i believe it was never that bad.

Battlefield 4 was darn near broken at launch, but my friends and I sat through all the disconnects and glitches. Even with the issues, when you got in a match it was worth it. Unfortunately that’s not the case here. The game could be as polished as modern warfare 2019 and it would still suck because of its design. These maps were clearly not play tested by the community, or if they were the feedback was ignored. Wide open empty maps with small combat zones do not work for the shining star of battlefield, which is conquest. The move to 128 players should not have required the maps to be 5x as big. It slows the gameplay to a crawl and is frankly boring. The map design is bland with very flat looking textures. Destruction is nearly non existent. It’s like the developers completely forgot about what makes battlefield great. Removing the class system for specialists was a huuuuuge mistake and I don’t think the game can improve until that is reinstated. It changes the team dynamics and creates a meta which Battlefield traditionally was able to avoid.

    Dice & EA flat out lied to players. We were told the beta build was 3 months old but the game released with nearly all of the same technical issues. They do not deserve your money, especially when the game doesn’t include a campaign, so “more time can be spent on multiplayer.” If all the time is being spent on multiplayer, there should be more than 7 maps and 23 guns. It’s really a shame because this was the game to bring battlefield back to its roots. Overall - the performance sucks on PC, the sound design sucks, the music sucks, the little one liners the characters say at the end of the matches are HORRIBLE, the gunplay sucks, the game is just flat out awful. It’s just not fun. The days of BF3, BF4, & BC2 are gone.    … Expand

It is plagued by very poor map design, an unacceptable amount of bugs and glitches, as well as the lack of basic features many of which are considered a staple of the Battlefield franchise for good reason (e.g. proper scoreboard, diving in water, switching squads, destruction, all-chat, etc.).

While bugs will likely eventually be ironed out, very poor map design remains a significant issue: maps are so huge and offer so little cover that maps hardly flow well, making them an eternal running nightmare for infantry. Vehicles suffer too, as specialist abilities mean that there is little predictability about the movements/loadouts of enemies - there is no incentive to push with a tank or helicopter given how many people run rocket launchers/anti-vehicle grenades and how quickly one can subsequently be killed.

    Furthermore, 2042 doesn't know what it wants to be tonally with very clean maps and quirky specialists ("aNgEl dOeS iT aGaIn!!11"), as well as weird skins (Boris as Santa Claus) meant to emulate hero shooters, while the very premise of the game and its marketing prior to release try to paint a rather grim, gritty atmosphere. Optimization additionally remains rather poor.

    As it stands, 2042 hardly deserves being called a AAA game, or even a Battlefield game, for that matter. Strong recommendation not to buy and refund if you still can.    … Expand

    Even if they fix half of the issues with this game in the coming year, it will still be garbage. I won't buy the next game, and possibly, i see this game killing the franchise as a whole.

    It's a shooter, but the gunplay is so messed up that I can't shoot or hit enemies. There's very basic shooter functionalities missing like a score board.

    They left out so much functionality that each and every BF game before this one had. They eliminated the classes in favor for specialists, they didn't put in any stationary guns or AA, it only has 23 guns with no customization whatsoever because all the attachments just do the same, the maps are horrible flat open spaces with no cover, no levelution, no destruction.. the map design is broken where in 3 out of 7 maps, you can't win as attackers on Breakthrough.

    They left out the campaign, so you would think.. with more time spent developing, more studios than ever, no campaign, the actual multiplayer would be better, more content, more functionality, better balanced, less glitches, great gunplay??? big NOPE.

    Then they added some extraction game mode which I refuse to even start, never played it, never will. I don't want to be in EA's or Dice's stats to be a player who started this game mode to even give them the slightest idea of something this is what the community wants to play, because it's not.

    Then, the only GOOD thing about Battlefield 2042, is Portal. It was added by an additional studio in just 14 months development, to make up for all the lack of content in the main game, and it's actually the only good thing about this whole package deal, BUT.... they are killing it by eliminating XP and progression so there's actually no players or servers to be found.

    I asked for a refund but it got declined because I already put in too many hours because I still tried to give this game a serious chance and I tried to like it, but now it's just $120 down the drain, I hate it, I don't even have the urge to play it anymore (only if they re-enable XP and progression in Portal I will play just that).

Barely any maps for the different games in portal and makes the old titles not feel the way they were. As a veteran of the series and having played BC2, BF3, Hardline and BF4 to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. No campaign for a 70 dollar game riddled with bugs. Server issues constantly in my experience. Almost every game I encountered a loadout glitch where all of my loadouts for every vehicle and gun had to be recustomized. The maps are walking simulators when you're not constantly dying to vehicles. No scoreboard in a first person shooter was a big no-no. Only 6 maps on launch. The worst part is that it doesn't feel like battlefield. The gunplay feels shoddy and unresponsive. Specialists we're the worst thing ever introduced in the series. Classes made it simple but now you can run a medic with a sniper and ammo basically being a one man army. With specialists it ruins the immersion and roleplaying that has always been in battlefield. It's something that doesn't belong in battlefield but maybe COD. Speaking of the two medic specialist. If you play one of them in my experience you cannot revive people in walls. The game is riddled with game breaking bugs. The map objectives are terrible. In Orbital, Kaleidoscope, and Hourglass all have roof objectives in Breakthrough that make it impossible for attackers to win. Most of the maps are filler space with no cover. You will experience infantry burnout.The lack of guns in this game was something I didn't expect in battlefield. In BF4 and other previous titles a standout of the series was the variety of guns. In this game there are only a few weapon types per class. There are too many people in 64v64. It causes massive frame lag and freezes on my series x where I had to pull the plug on my Xbox.

У этой игры есть некие недостатки (а назовите мне игру, в которой их нет), все мы люди и каждый воспринимает их по-своему.
    Мне понравилась графика. Она красивая, в синглрлеерный шутер я бы точно поиграл, но с другой стороны - тебе нужно предтоповое железо и желательно ГГц побольше, ибо что она делает с процессором, одним Дайсам известно. Повышение частоты с 4.8-4.9 до 5.1 даёт нехилый такой буст в производительности.
    Карты: большие... и, наверное, на этом всё. Часто нужно бегать, есть какой-никакой интерактив с ними, присутствует разрушаемость.
    Оружие: достаточно. Многим тут не понравилось, что их слишком мало, верно? Но вспомните прошлый части, сколько их Х вы выбирали? По какой причине выбирали? Почему НЕ брали то или иное оружие? По этой же причине их уменьшили и... правильно сделали. Но с другой стороны, некоторая техника стала ещё той болью в заднице, если вы не в скваде и не способы его уничтожить (всё ещё жду новое оружие, которое будет способно эффективно уничтожать технику пехотой, сейчас это ракетница и клеймор, для первого нужно 100500 попаданий, а до второго ты не добежишь, если против вас играют ноулайферы), а большинство играют в эту игру чисто расслабиться, побегать, пострелять. Игра в команде - это не совсем то, за чем приходят в эту игру.
    Остальное может в будущем изменят, доделают, но в сыром остатке остаётся довольно неплохая игра, которая даёт какие-то позитивные эмоции, но с другой стороны - это не совсем "готовый продукт" (про ценовую политику промолчу). Что-то работает криво или не работает совсем, нерегулярные патчи (для игры в таком виде они должны выходить каждую неделю, чтобы исправлять весь тот бред, что они выпустили, начиная от недавнего обновления, которое убивает DXR-1 с кривой визуальной составляющей с "готовностью к следующему выстрелы" до бесячей фичи, когда тебя бьёт вертушка, то тебя замедляет... ну или так кажется, из-за чего твои шансы на спасение равняются околонулевыми, визуально это выглядит плохо).    … Expand

    Battlefield is dead. There, that's what it is. I've been playing since BF1942. I've seen the ups and downs. I have always kept believing because I've always had a lot of fun. Even after BFV (great game, but they just gave up and stopped support way too early) I thought BF2042 would be the great revival. They would take back the crown.
    The trailer inspired such confidence in this game. Then the beta came. It wasn't great but we were promised that it was an old build. Cracks in the foundation appeared.
    Then the game was released and everything turned out to be a lie. Like... everything. They turned it into a hero shooter. All the qualities that made battlefield battlefield just vanished. EA and Dice still to this day pretending that everything is okay and take month-long vacations without any decent communications. This is going to be another Anthem. We'll see a promise of improvement soon, and then the announcement that the game will be abandoned. Shareholders will laugh, while the fans get a kick in the nuts. I'm not going into detail about everything that is going wrong and is missing, it's already been done in detail by others but it far surpassed "just a few bugs". This game is fundamentally flawed.

    All we wanted was a Battlefield 3/4 brought into this generation of graphics and gameplay. And you spat in our faces.

    Battlefield 2042 is the game that killed the Battlefield franchise. May karma be heavy, EA and Dice.    … Expand

Balancing weapons and vehicles is completely out of proportion. Jets and helicopters are totally op, and tanks and other vehicles might just make it out of the spwan before being hit by Thousand Missiles, since of course everyone can carry a rocket launcher or C4. In addition, there are the maps that are simply a disaster. Everything is open you have no cover and after 2 minutes on a map you realize that there is absolutely no love in these maps. In general, the content that the game offers is a joke after about 30 hours you have unlocked everything there is and you have nothing left to do except farm up to XP up to level S999 and I don't have to tell anyone that this is not fun. The performance has also gotten worse with each patch, both for me with good hardware (3080ti and new Ryzen) and for my friends with slightly older hardware and with the last patch it only crashes non-stop after 5 minutes in one round.

    Conclusion: Do yourself a favor and stay away. Because even I, as a long-time Battlefield fan, have given up hope that the new content will get better. (Even Hardline was more fun....)    … Expand

Well no, it's even worse. Sometimes I would dump entire magazine worth of round into the enemy player literally point blank and nothing registered as a hit. 3. Broken gunplay.

    All in all, Battlefield 2042 has been a real labour of love for me. The initial launch was remarkably underbaked, but I can’t deny the enjoyment that comes from firing a rocket launcher into a tornado. This may not be the best FPS multiplayer game available, and there are still plenty of issues that need ironing out, but there are occasionally some thrilling moments that you won’t be able to experience in the likes of Call of Duty or Fortinte. It remains frustrating having to pay full price for a multiplayer game, but if you’re already a fan of the franchise and don’t mind missing out on the campaign, you’ll likely enjoy yourself here. The nostalgic aspect of Portal mode will also draw fans in, and of course, the 4K graphics make it very pretty game, even if it has its cracks.
